Wow, it's like all the old sairs just suddenly popped out of nowhere.
I don't disagree with the idea that Corsair RP is much more varied than Arrrrr. That being said, I think official factions for the most part should represent the mainline action of the NPC faction, and while there is room for different rp within the faction, and different indy rp, I think it's very important that official factions, who have a role in directing mod rp, represent the major part of an npc faction's rp, not the minor part of it. I am not saying Sair factions shouldn't have smugglers in them, I am not saying that indy sairs shouldn't rp smugglers, but an official factions should not be based on corsair smugglers.
Bindo, the Benitez wasn't a smuggling faction. And the sairs have never had an official smuggler faction.
